MLB Premium Play 08/31: Los Angeles Angels @ Seattle Mariners


MLB - 929 Los Angeles Angels @ 930 Seattle Mariners

(Starting Pitchers: D. Haren vs K. Milwood)

The Angels will be starting Haren tonight, who is coming from a good outing against Detroit last Saturday, in a game where he allowed just two runs and eight hits in 5.2 innings. However, he had an extra rest prior to that game, as he didn't start for nine days prior to that game. He will just have five days rest for tonight and therefore, I believe he will go back to the struggling outings tonight against a team that has already pounded him hard earlier on this month with five runs and five hits in just 3.1 IP. Seattle has been hitting poorly but on a very clutch way, so I believe they will make some damage tonight.

Seattle will be starting Millwood and he is coming from allowing four runs (three earned) against the White Sox last Sunday. He has been an average pitcher this season, but August has been his worst month with a 4.85 FIP and 4.15 xFIP. With the Angels looking hot on offense after a good series against Boston, I believe Millwood won't have enough quality on his pitching to handle the Angels offense tonight.

With Haren looking to struggle again and with the Angels offense looking to be in a good moment, I believe both pitchers (especially Millwood) will have tough outings tonight and with such a low totals line, I'll be taking the Over in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 929/930 Over 7.5 (w/ D. Haren & K. Milwood) @ +100 / 2.00 on 5Dimes
